Chad offers a variety of tourism experiences, featuring stunning desert landscapes, rich cultural traditions, and notable wildlife attractions like the Ennedi Plateau and Zakouma National Park. While it may appeal to a segment of Ethiopia's 123 million population, its overall attractiveness as a destination for Ethiopian visitors may be limited.
Chad's safety for tourists coming from Ethiopia can be assessed through various indices. The Global Peace Index ranks Chad 133rd out of 160 countries, making it safer than Ethiopia, which ranks 142nd. While specific murder rates for Chad are not available, Ethiopia has a murder rate of 8.8 per 100,000 people. In terms of organized crime, Chad has higher indices in several categories compared to Ethiopia. For instance, Chad scores 8.5 in state crime and 7.0 in human smuggling, indicating more significant challenges in these areas. Conversely, Chad scores lower in mafia groups (5.5) and heroin trade (2.0) compared to Ethiopia. Overall, while Chad may be marginally safer than Ethiopia based on the Global Peace Index, tourists should remain cautious due to higher levels of organized crime and specific safety concerns.
